Yes. I'm sure those stations up in Plano are just packed with the poor, the tired, huddled masses...yada, yada.
I make decent money, but I need to ride the train. Know why? Because driving downtown would make me go postal. Not to mention $10 to park.
It's also fairly obvious most of those commenters who hate DART have never stepped foot on it. $200,000 homes? Tell that to the guy in my hood where most homes don't go for under $300,000 and more are in the $500,000 plus range (Mr. Jane and I rent an older duplex) who takes the bus and the train every morning.
msbelle, where outside of Ft. Worth are they? I know there's a station in Hurst for the TRE.
Dallas' has actually gotten pretty good. We just had a 3rd line open Monday. There have been some timing issues with the 2 older lines, which messes up my morning commute, but I can't wait to take the green to the state fair.
That's a very common opinion in my town. There was even a protest about expanding bus service because it would enable "the wrong sorts" to get to the mall do "stuff". And radio morning hosts on stations I no longer listed to will often complain about the people they have to sit near on the bus/train. I hear my cow-orkers saying the same.
The exact reason why there's no PT option to get to Jerry Jones' Deathstar in Arlington.
(Disclaimer: My step-father is GM of the company that runs the busses in my hometown, so I'm firmly on the side of expanded public transportation)
They are in Colleyville, so nearby Hurst. There should be buses in Euless and North Richland Hills and Bedford, moreover a lightrail from that area to Downtown Ft. W.
I stand corrected, it looks like the TRE (which I had never even heard of) hits some of those places.
Uh-oh.
Nepal Hit By Severe Goat Shortage
The authorities in Nepal have ordered officials to find more goats for ritual slaughter ahead of the country's biggest religious festival of the year.
Officials say that there is a severe shortage of goats to offer as sacrifice in the capital Kathmandu.
You won't find anyone who owns a home for $200,000 and up who needs to ride a bus or train into work.
I'm sorry, I can't see the keyboard to type a response to this as my eyes have rolled out of my head and under the desk.

Did ita visit Nepal recently?
Did ita visit Nepal recently?
Or maybe ita is about to visit, and all the goats are hiding....
Before I lived in Europe, my experience with public transportation was so limited that I was suspicious and a little afraid of it. Returning to a car culture sucked!
And now that I actually live somewhere again that
has
public transportation, I use it every single day and I'm very happy that I don't need to own a car.
yeah, it is gonna suck when I move back to Texas. Not owning a car will not be an option. In fact, going even a day without using the car will probably be near impossible. And I haven't owned a car for 10 years now.
